Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
THE IMPORTANCE AND NECESSITY OF THE "LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT" DIMENSION IN THE BALANCED SCORECARD: A STUDY ON THE AGRICULTURAL CREDIT COOPERATIVES OF TURKEY
No full textThe balanced scorecard has been developed to overcome the shortcomings of the traditional measurement approaches and find the practical solutions to the measurement problems. It consists of finance, customers, internal processes, and learning/development dimensions. The objectives in these four dimensions are linked to each other through cause and effect relations, and the intangible assets included in the learning/development dimension constitute the basis of these dimensions, as it has been stated in strategy maps by Kaplan and Norton. In this study, the goals and objectives of the learning and development dimension of the balanced scorecard created by cooperatives specifically for themselves were identified, and the criteria to test these goals and objectives were determined by conducting a questionnaire study with 105 white-collar employees working in the Agricultural Credit Cooperatives in Central Union of Turkey, and 17 Regional Unions. The results of the study showed that the goals and objectives determined for the learning and development dimension, and the criteria to test these goals and objectives are applicable and validated for the cooperatives
Proposal for Balanced Scorecard for Agricultural Credit Co-operatives in Turkey
Get PDFIn this study, the purpose was to create an Institutional Performance Report based on multidimensional measurement and evaluation system, which will increase the institutional performances of cooperatives, which are important for agricultural sector, which will contribute to the decision-making processes of managers, and which will be adapted to the structures of cooperatives. The questionnaire that was used to obtain the study data in the scope of the study was created as a result of a 9-week effort with a 5-people workgroup of managers. The questionnaire was sent to 140 managers who worked at Central Union of Agricultural Credit Cooperatives and 17 Regional Units. A total of 105 questionnaires were returned by the managers. At the end of the study, that the financial and common aspects are in the foreground in agricultural cooperatives, learning and development aspects are background was stated and solution suggestions were developed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Kooperatiflerde Oryantasyon Eğitim Programının Değerlendirilmesi: Bir Araştırma
No full textİşe yeni başlayan çalışanlara işe uyumunu kolaylaştırmak, yapacağı işe ilişkin özellikleri, işletmenin amaç ve hedeflerini, misyon ve vizyonunu anlatmak amacıyla işletmeler tarafından oryantasyon eğitimleri düzenlenmektedir. Bu çalışmada, çalışanların almış oldukları oryantasyon eğitimini ve bu eğitimin çalışma hayatındaki etkisini değerlendirmeleri yer almaktadır. Veri toplama yöntemi olarak anket kullanılmış olup 2019 yılı içerisinde işe başlayan ve oryantasyon eğitimi alan 89 çalışana eğitim programı sonunda eğitim değerlendirme, oryantasyon eğitimi içeriği değerlendirme ve 9 aylık çalışma süreleri sonunda ise oryantasyon eğitimi- çalışma hayatı değerlendirme anketleri uygulanmıştır. Bu kapsamda elde edilen bulgularda oryantasyon eğitiminin çalışanların işe uyumunu kolaylaştırdığı ve işe başlayan her çalışana mutlaka oryantasyon eğitimi verilmesi gerektiği görülmüştür. Bununla birlikte bulgularda dikkat çeken bir husus oryantasyon eğitiminin içeriğinin uygulamaya yönelik olması gerektiğidi
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
